Recruiting: Two possible spring targets

With Percy Gibson’s transfer announcement happening earlier this week, Iowa State currently has three scholarships to burn this offseason. Of course, they don’t have to use all of them. Fred Hoiberg has proven over time though that he likes to bank a scholarship for a possible transfer that departs from another school during the year, much like Jameel McKay did last fall.

Analysis: Anderson would be a home run. He has never averaged fewer than 7.3 rebounds per game in his career and would be a welcomed force in the paint for the Cyclones. Note that Anderson would have to sit out a season due to NCAA transfer rules.

Bowers is a little bit more of a wildcard. Iowa State initially recruited him out of high school so there is some familiarity there. Bowers would be available to play next season after averaging 11.0 points and 6.9 rebounds per game last year at Chipola.
